We aren’t favourites to win any of our remaining games however there’s always a chance of a lightning bolt from the blue and a result that none saw coming and that’s our only hope! Even if that happens we’ve got to hope that Cas don’t win another game and also take a number of hidings that will negate the points difference.
What a sad sorry state we are in and it’s was predicted that we’d end up here back in Sept 22

Even if we do stay up, which after last night looks even more doubtful, we need better. Four wins and a battle at the bottom isn't good enough year in year out. Let Long take over, his win rate at Fev shows he certainly knows how to orchestrate a team.

This is the thing that always frustrates me.
If we have big investment we don't go for an assistant coach who has never been head coach in SL.

If we are going to change we need a coach with lots of proven experience or an up and coming NRL assistant who is recommended.

This sounds like you think the appointment of Long lacks ambition because we may have an investor with money. I would think until the deal is done no one would invest a large amount of money without some control.
It may be we bring in an experienced NRL coach when the incumbents depart who knows but the chances are certainly improved greatly.

I'd let Long finish the season as Head Coach and take it from there. 19/21 is considerably better than 4/22!

I don't think that at all.

I think he is an excellent choice for our assistant.

Isn't Kirmo too, coming on board into the coaching staff.

Him and Long, working as assistants to a much more experienced coach could be a half decent coaching set up.

Maybe too, see if Applegarth would be interested in taking his old role with the kids, though that ship may well have sailed

Vastly different relative squad quality, but regardless its woeth a shot. It's not working with Mash and there has never been any signs of improvement in the squad or team play. The wins look like outliers rather than the culmination of work done on the training field.

Day 2 of asking.

Will you take us to Mount Splashmore?

Kids, eh?

Think it will be a new coach for next season in the championship

Leigh will also then announce the launch of their academy and the appointment of a new coach M.A…..

Really? In the last 10 years you've recorded just one home win against Saints with 8 defeats in that time.

He was rescued by Ford leaving and Gale coming in, because then there was an upturn that coincided with Cas's downturn.

I'm not sure I'd get rid now. Just let Long take some of the pressure off. I can imagine Long will be fun to play under, and sometimes players just need to rediscover their zip.

One Aussie assistant who seems to be doing well is Lee Briers. I'm surprised Warrington didn't go in for him. He's the Brisbane attack coach, and they have the best and most exciting attack in the NRL (helped by having an experienced half-back surrounded by a young squad).

Dare I say that Richard Agar seems to be doing well at New Zealand Warriors, who are the surprise package this year, but I reckon he prefers being an assistant to being a head coach. Looking back now, the days of Richard Agar are halcyon days.

Day three of asking. Has Applegarth gone yet.
